A Romantic Comedy where friendships and relationships are tested to the limits when single friend Rachel finds she has fallen, and has always liked, her best friend’s fiancé, Dex.
Rachel is a successful attorney as well as a loyal friend, but is still single. After arriving at a surprise 30th birthday celebration, Rachel has one too many drinks and ends up in bed with her long-time crush, Dex, who is engaged to be married to Rachel’s best friend, Darcy (Kate Hudson).
After this, they both discover that they have romantic feelings for each other. As things start to become serious between the both of them, Dex and Rachel, they find their secret could destroy the friendship bonds, whilst Ethan (John Krasinski) who is Rachel’s close friend and has kept the secret affair of Rachel and Dex to himself, he admits a secret of his own, to Rachel, when she visits him in London!
Kindly turning him down, she returns to New York for Darcy’s wedding to find Dex sitting on the steps outside her apartment, and learns her has called off the wedding too. The happiness is short-lived between the pair when Darcy shows up to admit she has been cheating on Dex and is pregnant, but soon finds Rachel is the third person involved when Darcy sees her ex-fiancé’s jacket and confronts the pair before leaving.
The ending of the film shows Rachel bumping into Darcy after visiting the dry cleaners with one of Dex’s shirts. Beaming with excitement, Darcy admits she is the happiest she has ever been when she realises Rachel is still with Dex.
The mid-credit scene shows Darcy in London to surprise Ethan (Krasinski), but he tries to ignore her by walking away. The scene then turns black, indicating that a second film in this series has not yet been made. It has been 10 years since this film was first released…
Upon watching this, I thought at first it would be a cheesy chick flick, which, to some extent, it seems to be, but it’s actually a good film to watch! If you are a fan of Kate Hudson, like me, and a fan of John Krasinski, then this film is highly recommended!
Some of the scenes made me cry with laughter, and I surprisingly enjoyed it a lot! The only thing I dislike is that there is no second film. I think the second book Something Blue, would make a great second film, as I have noticed there is demand for it online..
Highly recommend watching Something Borrowed if you want a nice, easy, relaxing film to watch. It’s hilarious too, definitely made my evening. Plus, John Krasinski looks super cute and handsome, as always, in this film!.
It is available to stream now, on Netflix!
I rate this film 4 stars!
